Investing in Climate Tech: Trends and Opportunities
The podcast episode discusses the evolving state of climate investing and the role of venture capital in the era of government backing. The trend is up, with more than 200 new climate investment funds created since 2021, managing $121 billion. The government's comprehensive green industrial strategy is opening up new investment categories and commercial opportunities in deep decarbonization. The DOE is now focused on bringing commercial projects to scale rather than just scientific research. While there are similarities to past clean tech bubbles, this new era is distinguished by the societal impetus to address climate change, the financial sector's increasing focus on climate solutions, and government policy alignment with climate mitigation efforts.
